Jesus, Justice + Mercy: Bold faith, radical love and justice for the church
Jesus, Justice + Mercy
Bold faith, radical love, and justice for the church.
Welcome to Jesus, Justice + Mercy, a podcast for those who believe justice matters but aren’t sure how it fits with the faith they’ve always known. If you’re wrestling with the disconnect between Jesus and what you see in the church, you’re not alone.
I'm your host, Kristen, a woman rooted in the church, learning to reimagine faith through the lens of justice and mercy. In this season, we’ll explore the tensions between faith, justice, and identity. We’ll unpack hard questions about race, trauma, civic responsibility, and how we move forward with bold faith and radical love.
Whether you’re deconstructing, rebuilding, or simply asking honest questions, this is a space to listen, learn, and live out a justice-centered faith that’s deeply rooted in the heart of Scripture.

Radical Restitution: The Revolutionary Vision of Jubilee
In episode 11, we dive into the profound concept of Jubilee as outlined in the Old Testament. Join Kristen as she explores the connections between ancient laws and contemporary reflections on justice and equity. Discover how the principles of Jubilee offer timeless wisdom for navigating socio-economic challenges and fostering community solidarity.
From the earliest documentation of taxation to the radical principles of economic justice, we unravel the layers of significance behind Jubilee and explore biblical passages and historical contexts to understand how Jubilee aimed to prevent cycles of poverty and promote societal restoration. Journey with us as we examine the parallels between the Old Testament narrative and the teachings of Jesus, finding resonance in themes of freedom, redemption, and communal responsibility. Finally, we are encouraged to reflect on the implications of Jubilee for contemporary society and the role of the church in addressing systemic injustices.
Join in as we contemplate the intersection of faith, social action, and transformative love.
